Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Murmur

"Did you buy a counterfeit? The taste is weird."

After snatching the iced tea from his sister-in-law, Uchiha Gin gulped it down in one go. He smacked his lips, and based on the aftertaste, he realized it was slightly different from the expensive brands he usually drank.

Are you alright?

Faced with Uchiha Gin's questioning, Hyuga Tsukuyomi did not answer. Instead, she blinked, her cold tone tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Me? What could possibly happen to me? I am..."

Full of confidence, Uchiha Gin patted his chest. His current physique was almost alien-like, with an extremely fast absorption and metabolism speed. Even if it was a fatal injury, as long as he was still breathing, he could recover.

"Thump~"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him—a power of law that transcended the ordinary.

It turns out that the Sleeping Tea is a mechanical item; even the top-tier stat monster from the Naruto world would have to kneel down.

"Cough Zzzz"

"."

Seeing the unconscious Uchiha Gin, Hyuga Tsukuyomi glanced around to make sure no one else was there, then jumped down from the window.

"Feed"

The girl with the Byakugan crouched down, extended a finger, poked Uchiha Gin's cheek, and softly called out to him.

"Cough Zzzz"

The other person was sleeping like a log, and didn't respond to her poking him.

Retracting her finger, a hint of surprise flashed in Hyuga Tsukuyomi's eyes. She had thought the red tea was just a simple sleeping potion, unlikely to work on a ninja, but it had unexpectedly knocked out Uchiha Gin.

"Is this 'sleeping' black tea really that effective?"

The man before me, though seemingly lazy and unreliable, is actually a powerful figure praised by our ancestors. He shouldn't have fallen victim to a sleeping potion made by an ordinary person.

"It seems that no one is perfect."

After some thought, Hyuga Tsukuyomi came to a conclusion: Uchiha Gin is a person with negative poison resistance who is prone to fainting.

Believing she had found Uchiha Gin's weakness, the Byakugan-wielding sister-in-law's face smugly lit up. She could finally manipulate this despicable thief at will!

"Won't it catch a cold if I leave it here?"

Standing up, Hyuga Tsukuyomi prepared to turn and leave, but a fleeting glance at Uchiha Gin's handsome face as he slept soundly stirred a strange emotion within her. After hesitating for a moment, she muttered to herself,

"If it weren't for Sister Biluo's sake..."

Having found a perfectly plausible excuse, Hyuga Tsukuyomi bent down and helped the unconscious Uchiha Gin to his feet.

As a result of falling into a deep coma, Uchiha Gin's entire body collapsed onto Hyuga Tsukuyomi.

"Why!"

Weight didn't matter, but the masculine aura emanating from Uchiha Gin made the inexperienced girl freeze in place. His warm breath on her ear made her body heat up instantly, and in no time, her fair face was filled with a blush of shyness.

Calm down! Calm down!

Tsukihime, what kind of storms haven't you seen in the book? He's just a man, I'm tired of seeing pictures of him without clothes!

After a futile attempt at self-soothing, Hyuga Tsukuyomi, whose limbs were already feeling weak, instinctively tightened her grip on Uchiha Gin, who was pressed tightly against her.

"Phew~"

After taking a deep breath, he walked towards Uchiha Gin's room.

The short corridor suddenly felt incredibly long. In the silent space, Hyuga Tsukuyomi could clearly hear two heartbeats, one fast and one slow. She involuntarily broke out in a light sweat, feeling inexplicably hot.

"Crunch~"

Just as she passed by her own room, the door to the room in front of Hyuga Tsukuyomi suddenly opened. In a moment of panic, she swiftly pulled open her own door and slipped inside with Uchiha Gin.

"Huh, nobody's here? There was definitely some noise just now!"

Wearing pajamas, Uchiha Hikari stood in the empty corridor, her beautiful black eyes filled with confusion.

Having just been rejected by Uchiha Gin, the defiant Uchiha Hikaru began studying the technique again. Combining the power of their bond, the light and darkness duo refused to believe they couldn't master it.

Just as she was studying the crucial moment, she heard some strange noises outside in the corridor. Fearing that someone might be plotting against Ah Yin, she went out to check.

"Huh? The people of Sunagakure have such low manners!"

After strolling around the corridor, the sharp-eyed Uchiha Hikaru spotted an empty beverage bottle lying on the ground. After making a few comments, he threw it into the trash can.

As he passed by Hyuga Tsukuyomi's room, Uchiha Hikaru, as if sensing something, suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on the closed door, his brows slightly furrowed.

On the other side of the door, Hyuga Tsukuyomi, with her Byakugan activated, was drenched in cold sweat. From her Byakugan's perspective, Uchiha Hikaru was less than a meter away, his scrutinizing eyes fixed on her.

Normally, Hyuga Tsukuyomi would not care, but with the unconscious Uchiha Gin lying in her arms looking so fresh and healthy, if Uchiha Hikaru found out, wouldn't she be caught red-handed?

After staring at each other through the door for a few seconds, Hyuga Tsukuyomi, feeling guilty, dared not look directly at Uchiha Hikaru outside the door and quickly looked away.

"Is it an illusion?"

As the feeling of being spied on dissipated, Uchiha Hikaru blinked in confusion outside the door, then slowly walked away.

She still needs to continue her cultivation, perhaps to prevent Ah Yin from being harmed by the woman on the moon!

"Phew~"

As Uchiha Hikaru left, Hyuga Tsukuyomi breathed a sigh of relief. However, due to the intense tension she had just experienced, her legs went weak after relaxing, and the weight of Uchiha Gin in her arms caused her to fall backward.

"Thump!"

With a soft thud, Hyuga Tsukuyomi, who had fallen to the ground, was pinned down by the unconscious Uchiha Gin. The blush that had just faded returned to the girl's face, and blue light flashed instantly in her palm.

As the light of chakra shone on Uchiha Gin's sleeping face, Hyuga Tsukuyomi, who had been violently thrown away, bit her lip, slowly dissipated her prepared attack, and then mustered all her strength to push away the man who was pressing down on her.

Having finally escaped the mountain of Uchiha Gin, Hyuga Tsukuyomi wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, whether from exhaustion or tension, but her Byakugan eyes never left the man on the ground.

"I'll send him back after that woman falls asleep."

After a long silence, Hyuga Tsukuyomi spoke softly, but there was no one else around. Who was she talking to?

After finalizing the plan, the sister-in-law visibly relaxed, her eyes involuntarily beginning to scrutinize Uchiha Gin.

"He looks like a human being when he closes his eyes and doesn't speak."

After looking Uchiha Gin up from head to toe, Hyuga Tsukuyomi nodded slightly, giving a very fair assessment.

To be fair, Uchiha Gin's physical attributes were indeed quite good, but unfortunately, his deadpan eyes ruined his overall aura, causing people to subconsciously overlook his handsome face.

"This is the place described in the book."

In the darkness, Hyuga Tsukuyomi's Byakugan gleamed with a cool light, her gaze shifting as if she were lost in thought. Yet, her restless heart propelled her on an incredible journey of exploration.

She wanted to verify whether what was written in the book was the truth.

404

The next day

"ha"

Yawning, Uchiha Gin immediately threw back the covers upon waking and began to examine himself closely.

"Huh? There's nothing there?"

He had a vivid dream all night, in which he was having a crazy shooting session with real guns, but why was there no trace of it down there?

"That's really weird!!!"

Scratching his head, Uchiha Gin stood up, but the soreness in his lower back made him gasp and almost faint.

"Am I still in Sunagakure? Or have I somehow ended up in the park?"

This sense of loss of basic abilities caused Uchiha Gin to wonder if he had transmigrated again, and this time to the darkest part of the park, where a fresh kidney had just been cut off.

"Let me sort it out first."

Uchiha Gin, slumped on the bed in pain, began to recall frame by frame the events that had occurred before he went to sleep the previous night.

He remembered going out to find Xiaotianshui. He first declined Xiaoguang's invitation to learn his skills, and then he met his sister-in-law sitting by the window in the corridor. His sister-in-law was very fair and radiant, and she generously shared a bottle of iced tea with him.

"Wait! What about the memories after the iced tea?"

He racked his brains trying to recall what happened after he drank the iced tea last night, but Uchiha Gin's brain was like a frozen app, just spinning in circles, unable to load any content.

It definitely won't load; it'll give you a 404 error!

"No, I have to go and find out. Could it be that my sister-in-law did something to me?"

Tsukihime Otsutsuki was already at odds with him, and who knows if she might have put a sack over his head last night, beaten him up, and then taken his kidney to vent her anger.

So he gritted his teeth, stood up, and pushed open the door with his nearly exhausted body. As a result, he bumped right into Hyuga Tsukuyomi, who was about to knock on the door. Uchiha Gin keenly noticed that the moment his sister-in-law saw him, her white eyes subconsciously avoided eye contact.

That's a sign of a guilty conscience!

"It's time to eat breakfast."

Uchiha Gin was about to ask a question when Hyuga Tsukuyomi spoke first. To his surprise, his sister-in-law, who was usually very articulate, was stuttering, and her chin twitched unnaturally a few times.

Not only that, Uchiha Gin also noticed that the other person's breathing was somewhat disordered, his fair face was covered with a deep weariness, and his two slightly dark eye bags were very noticeable.

Are you sick?

Seeing that his sister-in-law seemed a bit down, Uchiha Gin temporarily suppressed his doubts and asked her what had happened.

"I'm not used to the local environment."

Without continuing to confront Uchiha Gin face-to-face, Hyuga Tsukuyomi coldly uttered a single sentence before turning and leaving.

"Is the Otsutsuki's physique really that weak?"

Uchiha Gin scratched his head, then clutched his back and followed. Before long, they arrived at the dining area. The Shamon prison naturally wouldn't treat them poorly, and the food prepared was very plentiful.

"Why do you all look so pale? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who had been seated at the dining table earlier, looked at the two who had arrived late and asked in confusion,

"Maybe it's just the change in environment?"

After taking his seat, Uchiha Gin set his sights on the honeydew melon he had eaten so much of the day before. The juicy fruit and its sweet taste made him linger.

"Ah Yin, that stuff has too much sugar, you should eat less of it."

Knowing Uchiha Gin's physical condition, Uchiha Hikaru, seeing him once again devour the melon, offered a concerned reminder.

"It's not actually that sweet."

Uchiha Gin retorted stubbornly.

"It is indeed a little sweet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his sister-in-law, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? I remember you didn't eat this melon yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, the two people seated blinked in confusion, then turned their gaze to Hyuga Tsukuyomi, who was eating with her head down.

"Oh, I had a little bit before bed last night; they delivered it to my door."

Maintaining a cold expression, Hyuga Tsukuyomi spouted nonsense with a straight face, but judging from her subconscious licking of her lips, she had indeed eaten quite a bit.

"Huh? Differential treatment? This is definitely differential treatment!"

Uchiha Gin felt that Sunagakure was deliberately targeting him. Why did his sister-in-law's room have sweet and delicious fruit, while he only had bland and tasteless spring water?

You're not human, you're in the Shamen prison!

"Pat~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was criticizing the monk, a voice caught his attention. He saw Hyuga Tsukuyomi drop her cutlery on the ground.

"Hmph~ Have you become so clumsy that you can't even hold chopsticks properly?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who had previously been thoroughly scorned by Hyuga Tsukuyomi, finally found an opportunity to retaliate. Pointing at the other's trembling little hand with a mocking expression, he sneered,

"."

Hyuga Tsukuyomi wasn't angry. She merely tried to move her sore, delicate hands, glanced thoughtfully at Uchiha Gin who was showing off his melon, and then picked up the chopsticks that had fallen to the ground.

You loser, you have no idea what I did last night~

No, no, no, sister-in-law, where do you get your confidence? If we're going by ranking, you're only slightly ahead of Senju Itama.

"What kind of look is that? Want to fight?"

Sensing the sense of superiority in Hyuga Tsukuyomi's eyes, Uchiha Hikaru was a little confused, but this was definitely a provocation.

"I'm available anytime."

Although I fought all night without sleep, using both my hands and mouth, the Otsutsuki clan's physique is no joke; they can get you back to your peak condition in no time.

And

Last night, while she was operating, Hyuga Tsukuyomi accidentally ate a mouthful of syrup. After swallowing quite a bit, she was surprised to find that the life energy in her body seemed to be more refined, and the power shackle that had not moved for a long time was showing signs of loosening.

"You said it yourself!"

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes gradually turned crimson, with three tomoe spinning rapidly within them, about to stick together. The overflowing power of her eyes caused the girl's long hair to fly wildly in the wind.

Hyuga Tsukuyomi was naturally not to be outdone; her pure white eyes shone with wisps of blue light, and her smooth, flowing hair, which Uchiha Gin greatly envied, fluttered without wind.

The Reincarnation Eye on the moon received a signal from its master, and its immense pupil power, accumulated over many years, was poised to be unleashed, ready to provide support at any time.

Sure enough, these two won't be at peace for long.

Uchiha Gin put down the last piece of melon rind, his expression unusually serious. If the Eternal Eye and the Tenseigan were to fight here, Sunagakure would probably be razed to the ground in an instant.

"Close your eyes, everyone, and tie your hair up!"

P.S.: As expected, it got banned... (End of Chapter)
